‘the display of these pageants and disports which enlivened the repast’

‘The Advent fast ended on Christmas Eve; then there were twelve days of feasting, banqueting, pageantry, disguising, and convivial merrymaking, all presided over by the Lord of Misrule, or Master of Merry Disports.’

‘Regardless what disports you should be interested in, one might assemble stories re your favorite sport on the online world.’

Origin

Late Middle English: from Old French desporter, from des- ‘away’ + porter ‘carry’ (from Latin portare).
